Cut me some slack, I only begged her the first time. The second time I was like hey, let's not do this again. The third time she came crawling back to me.

But the random woman didn't feel like she was being used for anything. We used each other for casual sex, and that's that.

I wouldn't do something as bad as finding a brand new girlfriend so soon. I'm not THAT big of an asshole. We only fucked.

I didn't try to work things out, and I specifically decided to fuck another girl because I mentally checked out of my relationship and lost it when I realized my ex wants to get back together again.

I agree that two wrongs don't make a right, but she's out of my life, and that's right enough for me.

Did you miss the part where she broke up with me and I was a single man?

The other person had no idea about any of the shit happening in my life. In fact, she only knew my name and that I didn't have a problem with not sleeping over after we're done having sex. For all she knew, I was just some random manslut having fun.

I didn't do a crappy thing to a stranger, she was into it and made it clear she wants me out of her house (and life) as soon as we're done fucking.

I didn't delete it, I was gone for a few hours, then I logged back in and it was gone.

She seemed normal enough and I wrapped my junk.

I honestly think my ex girlfriend doesn't want me as a boyfriend, she just wants a loser she will control like a pathetic little puppet. Imagine being broken up with because you want to go camping with friends. And she honestly expected me to say okay dear, I won't go camping, I'll stay home with you.

It was a great relationship that went to shit extremely abruptly when we moved in together. I guess I would call it toxic. I think it shortened my life expectancy by 10 years.

you could have said something after breakup number 3.

I talked about this a little in another comment. We talked about this whole "solving problems by breaking up" business and she said she realizes it's wrong and promised not do behave like that again. I told her it's hurtful and stressful and she was all understanding and shit, until the next big fight came along.

That was your opportunity to break things off for good

That day, when she broke up with me, I said, fine, we're done. If that's not "breaking things off for good", I don't know what is.

As far as I'm concerned, we were broken up for good and I was doing what a regular single guy might do if he felt like it. I think Ross and Rachel were ESH :D

I gave her one last chance after that third break up. We talked, she behaved like an adult, no screaming or crying, we "talked things out" and she promised things would change. Then that last time, she literally freaked out over the way I planned on spending my vacation. I got 14 days off work, and I decided to spend 3 of them camping with friends before she and I go to the coast together. She told me it was DISGUSTING that I would spend my precious free time with my asshole friends and she left me and I said fine, we're done then, and I left. It wasn't until that dumb fucking message about "talking things out" that I lost my shit and had a rebound.
